I am trying to rebuild my files and programs and I am following essexboy's blog on the subject http://forum.avast.com/index.php?action=profile;u=11091 I've downloaded some programs he suggested and I am posting results of the scans here I hope someone can make sense of these and give me some direction because I am stuck. As part of the steps he suggests I downloaded and ran RogueKiller scan but I don't know which files to delete??, enclosed pleae find few reports from this scan.

aswmbr is a master boot record scanning tool. It is legit and made by a guy who works for Avast!. If you have any doubts to this, browse the virus&worms section of the forums and look at how often it is used in the last month alone, let alone the last year.

Googling whether or not something is a virus is a quick way to get scammed or further infected, unless you carefully check every sites reputation that comes up in the search results.

Its on you whether you want to continue, but think about it....there is not way one of the worlds most popular anti-virus would condone spreading an infection around their support forum. There is nothing for you to worry about.

I was hoping you'd read what what's on that website because they even suggested downloading this aswMBR fix however I lost my download program so now I got two problems I need a download program and safe site to download aswMBR fix from, any ideas?

a file name is just a file name.... i can download a virus sample and rename it to Seacap.exeso you need to know what search result you can trust..

Yes and a "Download Program" to download it with!, it's the Catch 22. Virus denied access to my files and programs and I no longer have the ability to download anything from the Internet, can you feel my pain?

You will need to run all the programmes in the list - especially the RogueKiller as your files/folders are apparently missing.

You can run RogueKiller from as USB drive

EDIT : just looked at the link and it is a scam

Essexboy, I need detailed instructions how to rebuild my computer to original state. I've been kicking around computers since 1993 and had Avast installed for at least 6 years I have limited experience in using malware cleaners, rootkis detectors or rogue killers etc.. I know this has be a step by step process to rebuilt files but I don't have a clue what comes first is it rebuilding MBR or something else and what utilities do you use and how to use these tools. Right now I find it all just a little confusing so you'll have to be gentle.

1. My first problem is I am unable to download anything from Internet because "download" doesn't work on my computer so how do I restore this function?2. What website could I get a clean copy of this Rogue Killer maybe I can have someone emailed it to me and run it from email would that work?Thank you.

"Did you read my post above....did you click the link ?"Yes I read your post and don't really understand what to do here?.I assume link you're referring to is Essexboy's "Logs to assist in cleaning malware". I got Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and OTL and I posted OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. earlier but then my DOWNLOAD PROGRAM died and I CAN NOT DOWNLOAD aswMBR.exe, the RogueKiller or any other fix files from links you supply to continue with cleaning the computer. Q-do you understand the implication of what I am saying here?, I wish there was a way to chat here posting has it's limitations.
